FIRE IN AN ORPHANAGE.
The Children of the Female Orphan
Asylum in Panic.

Fire broke out in the Female Orphan
Asylum, at Bull and Charlton streets, at
$50 o'clock yesterday afternoon, caused by
a defective flue. 1t was after dark, and
most Of the children were upstairs The
fire started on the third floor on the west
side of the building and burned only few
minutes.
A wide crack in the chimney allowed it to
get started ON the woodwork surrounding
it and smoke filled the rooms. A
cry of fire was raised and the orphans
at once became alarmed, and for
a few minutes there were fears of panic.
They rushed into the halls and blocked the
stairs, so that when the firemen arrived it
was with difficulty that they could get inside
the building. As soon as they did the fire
was put out. The alarm was telephoned to
police headquarters instead of fire
mems headquarters, and a de
lay of several minutes occurred before
the alarm reached the fireman at all. The
damage by the fire is slight The fears of
the children were quieted as soon as posi-
BILE by the matron of the asylum, and they
returned quietly to their wards.

PRINTERS AT A DINNER.
They Present Their Host a Gold
Loaded Cane.

Loaded Cane.
Several days ago Col. NJ. L. Harnett,
proprietor of the Harnett House, sent out
general invitation to the printers of the
city, as has been his custom for years past,
to participate in Thanksgiving dinner. AS
the boys have been the recipients of his hos
pitality for number of years, they thought
that this would be a fitting opportunity to
show that they appreciated Col. Harnett's
kind recognition in these annual Thanks
givings, and they accordingly determined
to present him with some tangible reminder
of their good will.
The typos assembled at 8 o'clock and
marched to the Harnett House in a body.
After shaking hands they were invited to
partake of an appetizer before entering
the dining room. After doing full justice
to a substantial repast, a committee waited
upon Col. Harnett and escorted him to the
dining room, where he was introduced to
the boys" and was received standing. Mr..
w. H. II. Young, who had been appointed
the orator of the occasion, spoke as follows:
Col. HARNETr: For the past four years we
have been the recipients of the hospitality OF
your house, and it is but fitting now that we
tender you some token of our appreciation of
your kindness other than our appetites and
relish for the good things set before us, of
which you have had abundant evidence AS
hours of morning, and deprived of many
privileges other tradesmen enjoy, we appreciate
more fully your kind consideration of us and
commend your course to the attention of all in
a condition to do SO to follow suit, as one of the
surest and best means of bringing about that
humane spirit which should actuate every true
man, and causing thereby many hearts to swell
with gratitude that otherwise will remain
strangers to its divine impnse Wishing you
long happy and prosperous life, pray you ac-
cept token at our hands-your friends and
Well-wisherS-and
AS age creeps on and limbs grow weak,
With cramps, and aches and pain,
Here, Colonel, is another leg
The printers gift-a cane.
But may the years lie long between
Ere you w on this staff must lean.
Long may the tourist come your way
And travellers for many day;
Here may you give them hearty cheer
And royal welcome many year.
At last-when at st. Peters gate,
May you not long be called to wait,
For he will see your cane affair
printers pass to gates ajar.
The cane is a neat and serviceable article,
and is inscribed as follows:

REQUESTS.
1t is pleasant indication of commendable
progress in liberality to hear and read of be-
quests made by memberso of our churches TO the
churches and to our institutions. There should
be many more instances OF liberal giving to our
church in this way, and there would be if our
pastors would speak or preach more about it.
Cannot some way be devised by which this
might oe accomplished?
OUR W. II. AND F. NJ. SOCIETIES.
II is with pleasure that hear and read of the
noble and successful work of our women in
their various societies. They Will yet prove
themselves mighty helpers in our mission ope-
rations, if only properly encouraged Would il
not be well to advise them to form n General
Womans Home and Foreign Missionary Society
and ask said general society to sustain some
home mission and missionary, through or under
the auspices of our Board of MssonsY Would
not special work at some point be best for them
and best forusY would recommend such &C
ton.
And now in conclusion let me thank you, breth-
rem, for the kindness you have shown me and
the honors you have bestowed upon me- and
may Gods blessing rest upon you in all your
deliberations and labors. Returning to you the
trust committed to me- pray that God may
meke you perfect in every good work to do His
will.

The acting secretary of the interior

be invoked to prevent an outbreak and
preserve the peace; that while the force
of tr'mps was in the locality of the In

to induce them to % and remain upon

Reports Of an engagement between
C"lor"w and shrritfs p"sse d. not, in
the opinion Of the war department Of

press the supposed outbreak. As soon
as the Indians are a'tackrd by the troop.
they will not only defend themselves
but attack the settlements. and, in ord, ,
to avoid an Indian War, the ussi>,xnc" OF

WINSTON IN NORTH CAROLINA

Col. Patrick II. Winston in lecture
delivered to a crowded audience 10 the
opera house at Winston, North Carolina,
Aug. Is, has tie following to say Of.

take the same from the Union Repub
hcan, wherein a conspcctus Of the entire
lecture is contained, describing the Great
Pacific Northwest as to its climate, soil,
healthiulness, vegetation, stock raising,
mineral wealth, towns, people, etc.:
1.-THE town of Lewiston, where live,
lies like a picture at the confluence Of
the Snake and Clearwater rivers. 1t is
empowered in shade and is q Variable
garden of fruits, vegetables and flowers.
1t is the shipping point tor 100 miles Of
back country. Looking at the north
from the hill over the Clearwater it is a
picture tina, recalls some happy dream
up the valleys Of the Clearwater and
Snake the waters wind for miles through
the rerdure Of spring-while across the
praircs grass covered for 100 miles, over
Craiy's mountain, over the Camas Prairie
rises in semi circular grandeur the snow
covered spurs Of the Rockies. The town
has two thousand people the very best in
the world. A brave, manly race Of pion-
GERS. generous to fault, who welcome t"
their homes I'll the races of men, sud
share with them the fortunes good or
evil, Of lite, with courage that nothing
daunts. No man is friendless there il h.
is willing to be assisted. Everyone will
help you along in the Great Pacific
Northwest. There is not poor n.an
there. Money or no money they are oil
rich, rich in hope in health, in the bless
ings Of perfect freedom, in the absolute
and perfect equality Of men. There arr
no rich and poor. For that is freedom +
own bright home, where you can think
us freely as you eau breathe and you can
talk as freely as you can think. Where
you are neither the slave Of property ~
of passion, the dupe neither OF Politician
or priest. This freedom is more to inc
than milliols OF fruitful acres, mole than
the cattle on thousand hills, more than
the silver lined shores Of the Occur d.
Alene--to me it is most Of Ill.
